Description: In the 1950s the Romani people lived on the brink of great change. In their bright wooden wagons they journeyed between horse - fairs and traditional stopping places - stoic humorous and wild often poverty - stricken but protective of their freedom - on the fringes of a society that was soon to close around them. Dominic Reeve describes his life among the Gypsies: the feuds and fairs the joyful muddy squalor of an outdoor existence. He evokes an unforgettable cast of fireside characters - bold children fierce matriarchs and dandyish villains in snap - brimmed hats - and tells of sharp deals done and rings run round country policemen of love affairs dances and open - air feasting. Smoke in the Lanes is the vivid memorable record of a disappeared world.
